It's Thursday evening, and I sit here in the house safe and sound. The weather has been very anti-climatic. Yesterday, the University canceled afternoon classes. It started raining around 4:00, and so I had the privilege of reading a novel (for class) with the sound of soft rain and a cup of coffee. Around 6:00 p.m., they announced that classes were canceled for the following day in all of Hermosillo, although the University's web page stated that it was only for the morning. The tropical storm was scheduled to arrive in Hermosillo around 11:00 p.m. with winds from anywhere from 20 mph to 40 mph. However, when I went to bed at 11:30, it wasn't even raining. When I woke up, there was no evidence of any storm, nor of any additional rain. Today was a day of no, yes, no, yes, no for classes. In the end, we didn't have any classes, mainly because more rain was predicted and there was already water in the streets. In conclusion, Hurricane/Tropical Storm Henriette ended up causing less damage here in Hermosillo than the 45 minute storm we had on Tuesday. Not to say there wasn’t destruction in other areas, as Henriette caused damage to the costal towns of Guaymas , Kino, Los Cabos, and others. However, here in Hermosillo, all is quiet.
